When Possession Becomes Ownership – Acquisitive Prescription and Judicial Protection of Your Rights
You possess a certain item, movable or immovable, for a certain period of time, and you are interested in the legal conditions and the possibility of acquiring ownership of that item. In this article, you will learn how long it takes for possession of an item to lead to acquiring ownership through acquisitive prescription, and how judicial practice confirms the application of these legal provisions.
Why a Proof of Payment of the Purchase Price is Not Sufficient for Registering Ownership in the Republic of Croatia?
Foreign buyers, especially from Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, often operate under the logical assumption: "If I have paid for the property – I am the owner." In the Croatian legal system, unfortunately, this is not sufficient.
Lease and Concession in Croatian Law – Legal Framework and Key Differences

By a lease agreement, the lessor undertakes to deliver a specific thing to the lessee for use, while the lessee undertakes to pay the agreed rent.
